Laptops, iPads stolen from Romney aides’ SUV

Last Friday, two [Mitt Romney] campaign aides left their rented SUV in the Horton Plaza parking garage while they got dinner. When they returned, someone had grabbed all their belongings, including two iPads, two handheld radios and two laptops with detailed information about Romney’s presidential campaign.

This could just be a coincidence,” said political analyst Carl Luna. “Then again, given this campaign season and how negative it’s been, dirty tricks are not alien to American politics.”

Police said there was no sign of forced entry on the SUV and they are still not sure if the burglary was random or if Romney’s aides were targeted. Luna said the laptops and iPads could be a treasure trove of valuable insider information for Romney’s opponents.
